Economic history analyses and makes intelligible the evolution of the economy over the long term. Any question in history can be dealt with from the perspective of economic history. Example: The Industrial Revolution in England involved the discovery of new technologies which led to the creation of a manufacturing sector. What were some reasons for this shift in economic activity? The Industrial Revolution could be attributed to many factors, including the technological changes involved in manufacturing and industrial production, as well as an increase in population that lead to an increased need for goods | |||

Economic history straddles history and economics. Economics is not an experimental science, while the history of economics is an important part of the empirical experience of our economies, especially for long-term economic processes. The term "economic history" refers to the discipline that studies past economic transactions and patterns and their influence on contemporary society for better understanding of economics. Economic historians can study for example the historical context of economic policies, movements and ideas. Economic history evolved from the discipline of history "as" economics in the late 19th century. .In the United States, the field of economic history emerged from a variety of related social and intellectual movements. The most significant of these was American institutionalism, which in turn arose from a number of progressive intellectual trends that began in the late 18th century. The field has been divided into "economic history" and "social history", although there is some overlap. among these fields. Economic history is a study of how economies work, especially in industrialized nations. In the late 19th century, economic history was more generally seen as a field of economics that would investigate the broader consequences of economic actions and policies for society at large. Economic historians sought to understand the underlying causes for social and economic changes with a mixed methodology that incorporated both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative methods used by economists include demographic methods, supply and demand analysis, factor economics, and applied statistical analysis. Qualitative methods used by social historians include oral history interviews, case studies of individual events or communities, diaries and correspondence of historical figures. | |||
